Sorry, they are exactly who they appear to be.....


Why are you sorry? I am hoping it was Trump supporters but I’m having doubts because who does this benefit? That would be a huge stand by the conservatives but it’s not really something they normally do. It benefits the democrats and keeps the division going.

Did you expect this?

These violent acts are completely on our President and the selfish Congressman and Senators that gave these people false hope.


I expected this. I'm still mad as spit and want to go out and break some Trump supporting heads. But the moment they stormed the capitol they lost the argument. Sad the one woman lost her life but on the other hand she fricking deserved it.

This shouldn't have been hard to predict. Why wasn't the display of security similar to the one for BLM protests?

By contrast there is plenty of evidence of a coordinated effort by anti-democratic forces and white nationalists to invade the nations capitol to cause mischief. This has been further incited by the 'stand back and stand by' president to incite riot and suborn treason and insurrection. And has been aided and abetted by Fox and other supposed media organizations.

Trump needs to be immediately impeached and removed from office before he can magnify the damage he is causing. Then the DOJ needs to be armed and unleashed to track these cockroaches back to the cracks they crawled out from, round them up and lock them way until they die of irrelevance.

The key part in the OP was (paraphrasing), liberals have all the power but they aren't happy.

Kind of the difference between the two groups, no? One is ONLY happy when they have power and the other when we have a working democracy.

When a jackass arrives what you expect is for him to bray. It's not a surprise.

Just invoke the 25th Amendment & remove him from power.

If BLM stormed the capital the cops would have shot 50+

Yes or no?

Not sad at all one person lost their life. They get what they deserve.

I’d assume that the states would have a copy of who the electors are voting for so even if someone destroyed the certificates more could be produced. I mean the whole act by these idiot domestic terrorists was idiotic. Even if the certification was delayed, as of Jan 20th Nancy Pelosi becomes President. :dontknow: a failed coup is still a coup but there is literally nothing these idiot Magats could do to change the results

I thought about it and concluded you have to be insane to believe that.

Thank God - Trump has given up. I'm guessing the threat of impeachment proceedings starting today and the possibility that his cabinet would invoke the 25th Amendment had a lot to to with Trump's decision.
